+ | **GMT** is a wristwatch by [[Greubel Forsey]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This timepiece marks a first for both Greubel Forsey and the history of GMT watches. After exploring, inventing, and developing new mechanisms in the world of the tourbillon over the last decade, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have now combined it with a new complication, | ||
+ | |||
+ | With this remarkable timepiece, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have focused their energy on indicating a second time zone, a complication traditionally denoted by GMT ([[Greenwich Mean Time]]), the historical reference meridian for navigators. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A highly-practical complication and one greatly-valued by connoisseurs, | ||
+ | |||
+ | True to their philosophy and continuous quest for perfection and innovation, Greubel Forsey have gone way beyond the conventional means of displaying a second time zone. The GMT features a wonderful, three-dimensional temporal representation A rotating terrestrial globe offering a truly original view of time all over the world. This technical yet poetic marvel provides us with a completely new way of perceiving the different time zones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nestled in a prominent position at 8 o' | ||
+ | |||
+ | While the globe makes one complete rotation every 24 hours anticlockwise -- the Earth' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The night-time hemisphere -- 18 00 to 6 00 -- is indicated by a blackened half of the ring around the globe, while the daytime hemisphere -- 6 00 to 18 00 -- is indicated by a whitened portion. The latter is superbly enhanced by a lateral window cleverly integrated into the caseband, which lets in light to symbolise daytime on the globe, and reveals more of the southern hemisphere. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So if it is midday in England, the viewer can see at a glance that it is the beginning of the afternoon in Geneva or Rome, that the sun is only just rising on the East Coast of the United States and that the darkness of night has fallen over the Far East. Just one quick glance is enough to know the time anywhere in the world -- a longer look and it will be for the sheer aesthetic pleasure of viewing the delightful details on the intricately crafted globe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The intuitively interpreted globe is complemented at 10 o' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cascading clockwise around the dial-side are the main indications comprising a principal hour-minute dial at 1 o' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The specially developed movement of the GMT features the 25° inclined Tourbillon 24 Secondes cage, one of Greubel Forsey' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Spatially, the combination of elements on the dial-side is perfectly balanced, with a striking sense of depth offered by the globe and by the Tourbillon 24 Secondes at 5 o' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Turning over the GMT reveals the beautifully crafted ‘worldtime' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Completing the display-back is a gleaming sun, providing a visual reference for midday on the worldtime disc and radiantly lighting up the movement of this stunning timepiece. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The GMT is reinforced by the hallmarks of Greubel Forsey' | ||
